Introducing Megapack: Utility-Scale Energy Storage
Less than two years ago, Tesla built and installed the world’s largest lithium-ion battery in Hornsdale, South Australia, using Tesla Powerpack batteries. Since then, the facility saved nearly $40 million in its first year alone and helped to stabilize and balance the region’s unreliable grid.
Model 3 verdient 5-sterren veiligheidsclassificatie van Euro NCAP
Tesla hecht veel waarde aan veiligheid en daarom hebben we Model 3 ontworpen om de veiligste auto te worden.

More Advanced Safety for Tesla Owners
While no car can prevent all accidents, we work every day to make them less likely to occur. The massive amount of real-world data gathered from our cars’ eight cameras, 12 ultrasonic sensors, and forward-facing radar, coupled with billions of miles of inputs from real drivers, helps us better understand the patterns to watch out for in the moments before a crash.

De elektrische auto met het grootste bereik kan nu nog verder
Al meer dan tien jaar zijn de ingenieurs van Tesla geobsedeerd door het maken van de meest efficiënte elektrische auto’s ter wereld. Daarom rijden Tesla’s nu al met één enkele lading verder dan welke andere EV op de markt dan ook. Sinds vandaag zijn Model S en Model X zodanig aangepast dat ze ongekende afstanden kunnen afleggen zonder bij te laden, waardoor we ons eigen record van de EV met het grootste bereik overtreffen. We hebben dit bereikt zonder de accu te vergroten, wat bewijst dat onze expertise in systeemontwerp onze auto's aanzienlijk efficiënter kan maken.
Sustainable Products and Manufacturing
Today, we’re publishing our first ever Impact Report, which measures the impact our products and operations have on the environment and our communities. We believe the faster the world moves towards a zero-emission future, the better, so we’re working hard to minimize our greenhouse gas footprint, while investing in our employees and the communities in which we operate. We look forward to sharing further progress in future reports.
An Update to Our Vehicle Lineup
Model 3 has been the best-selling premium car in the U.S. for the past three quarters, and we’ve heard from Model 3 owners around the world that they love their cars. It has the highest consumer satisfaction rating of any car in the world.
Introducing a More Seamless Navigate on Autopilot
Since we first introduced Navigate on Autopilot last year, Tesla drivers have traveled more than 66 million miles using the feature, and more than 9 million suggested lane changes have been successfully executed with the feature in use. We’ve heard from our customers that it makes road trips and highway driving more relaxing, enjoyable and fun, and gives them an easy way to follow their car’s navigation guidance when traveling on an unfamiliar route.
